The Quincy Gems battled back from 8-0 and 9-1 deficits in the third and fifth innings, respectively, to claim a 10-inning, 10-9 Prospect League baseball win over the Springfield Sliders Tuesday night at Robin Roberts Stadium.

The Sliders were within one out of victory when they were leading 9-7 in the top of the ninth inning. But Springfield relief pitcher Alex Siddle allowed a bases-loaded single to Adam McGinnis that scored two runs to tie the score.

The Gems scored the winning run in the 10th when Ryan Light, who reached base on a dropped third srike to start the inning, eventually scored with nobody out on a wild pitch by Siddell.

The Sliders scored three runs in the first inning, including a two-run homer by Dominick Bregar, and added two more in the second on a two-run single by Riverton’s Will Schneider.

Springfield added three more in the third to lead 8-0, and added one more in the fifth on a RBI single by Zach Schira to lead 9-1.

But the Gems tallied three runs in the sixth as the Sliders allowed five straight walks and a run-scoring single to Tyler Adkison, who finished with four hits and two RBIs. Quincy added a run in the seventh trim the deficit to 9-5, and two more in the eighth on a two-run error to rally within 9-7.

The Sliders finished with five errors, and five Springfield pitchers combined to allow 13 walks. Siddle took the loss, his first decision of the season.

The Sliders fell to 9-14 in the league’s second half, while the Gems improved to 18-9. The same teams meet at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday at Robin Roberts Stadium.
